Chapter 20
These things are two Pooles for each broom, four Pooles for each dustpan, and four Pooles for each basket! You don't have to buy them, but if after today, if someone is found to be incompatible with Dicca If it is not stipulated by the Sri Lankan law, then he will have to accept the punishment! William said with a blank expression.
With one word, the audience was in an uproar.
The villagers in Nisai Village couldn't control themselves and complained softly.
The sounds are superimposed, buzzing.
Huster frowned slightly.
Adams' face was full of pain.
Old Gretel showed a look of I knew you would be like this, his eldest son, Big Gretel lightly touched his arm, and Old Gretel nodded silently.
Big Gretel's eyes lit up immediately, as if he had received some signal, and then his eyes became normal again.
Lord Baron... Old John worried.
William didn't turn his head back, he still looked at the villagers, but his eyes turned cold, and he yelled at the villagers, Silence!
The villagers were startled and closed their mouths, and the scene fell silent.
William's eyes surveyed the villagers.
Every villager he saw lowered his head in fear, thinking in his heart, then pay money to buy those things, and treat it as a waste of effort these days.
Only then did William say, Apart from this, I still have a few jobs to recruit. Of course, I will pay a lot of money.
The villagers didn't say anything, but they all showed a lack of interest on their faces.
William also understands the psychological state of the villagers. If the money you earn through hard work is taken away by people with various excuses, do you still have the motivation to continue to work hard to make money?
It seems that there really are! William suddenly remembered the house in his previous life, and his heart burst into tears.
Although William was suffering in his heart, he still had enough acting skills. William didn't seem to be affected in any way, and continued to talk to the villagers expressionlessly, I need two people to dig a big hole at that location. It doesn't need to be too deep. But it has to be big enough.
William pointed to a leeward direction outside the village, and said somewhere not far away.
The land is barren and only the most tenacious weeds can survive, so there are no villagers to cultivate the land here, and it is barely an unclaimed land.
Some villagers looked over with William's fingers and became indifferent when they found out that it was not their own field.
William had no choice but to resort to his trump card and said, The daily reward is—ten copper coins of Poole.
How many pools do not go? This was what most of the villagers were thinking at the beginning, and the next second—wait, how many Poole coins are there? Ten! Ten copper coins of Poole can buy one of each of the few things that the lord wants to sell. And still every day? If you do it for a few more days, won't there be a lot of ten poole coins?
The villagers are not very good at arithmetic, but they have a keen instinct for money.
The whole place was silent at first, and then exploded like boiling water.
The villagers scrambled to wave at William and shouted, Lord Baron, I'm going!
Lord Baron, I am willing to serve you!
The voices of the villagers were so loud that they rushed towards William like a tide.
William had no choice but to yell loudly, overpowering everyone's voices, and said, Old John, help me find out who violates the laws and regulations of Dikasland, and punish one if you see one!
As soon as the sound came out, there was silence everywhere!
Old John understood William's meaning, and followed suit to examine the villagers pretendingly.
The villagers kept their mouths tightly shut, for fear of being caught and fined by Old John.
At this time, William's stern gaze swept across the audience, causing the villagers to lower their heads uncomfortably, and then said in a deep voice, I hope this is the last time something like this happens!
Dicas Territory does not welcome such disorderly citizens!
silence for a while,
William continued, Besides digging a hole, I have other things for you to do!
Pick up dung! I'll give you two coppers for every basketful of dung heaped up in that pit I've got dug up ahead.
Old John was still cooperating with William to stare at the villagers and maintain the order on the field. Hearing what William said, his eyes widened, Master Baron, do you need to think again?
William pretended not to hear what Old John said.
However, the villagers heard William's words clearly, and their eyes were shining hotly.
These days, feces can be sold for money? Can it still sell so high?
The villagers can't wait to pick up dung for money!
Not a single villager had the thought of Is the lord lying to me, what if I don't give money?
The main reason is that in the past few days, when the golden silk grass was exchanged for money, William gave the money very readily, which made the villagers have basic trust in him.
In order to establish credit, the ancient Shang Yang did not hesitate to spend a thousand gold as investment capital.
And William is relatively poor, so he can only use these small favors to build the public's confidence in him step by step.
From the current point of view, the effect is still good.
In addition, I need you to help me find a few things. William was quite satisfied with the responses of the villagers, nodded secretly, and then said, The first thing is a kind of brownish red or brownish red soil. Viscous! Find it and bring it to Old John, and if I am sure it is the kind of soil I want, I will give the finder a silver franc as a reward!
One silver franc coin is worth one hundred copper coins of Poole. The task William gave was so simple, but the reward was so exaggerated. The villagers gasped, their minds turned rapidly, and they began to search their memories to see where they had seen this kind of thing. soil.
The soil that William asked the villagers to find was actually clay. To be precise, it was red clay.
Red clay is highly recognizable and easy to find.
Clay has a wide range of functions. As a building material, it is needed for both burning and making cement.
The small village of Nisai needs a wall instead of the wooden fence before, so that some villagers are willing to stay with him to tide over the difficulties!
The magic mirror could have helped him search for these things, but it needed to consume energy, and the energy of the magic mirror was running out. William was reluctant, so he had to mobilize the power of the masses.
Anyway, for him, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Money is a bastard, it's for spending.
On the other hand, Old John felt very distressed when he saw William spending money indiscriminately!
The second thing is a kind of stone, a light blue or milky white stone.
The villagers wondered, how can one stone have two colors?
In fact, the second thing William asked them to look for was limestone. The different content of limestone will lead to different appearance colors. If the content of limestone exceeds 50%, it will be light blue, light blue like the sky.
This kind of limestone is also a key weapon for farming, so the bounty given by William is not low.
Whoever finds this kind of stone, I will reward you with an Aiju silver coin!
Wow! the villagers couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice, a silver coin of the Hague, but three silver coins of francs, that is, three hundred copper coins, that is, sixty loaves of black bread!
The eyes of the villagers glowed green.
The last thing I want you to find is a black stone.
Black stone is the name of coal in this world. People in this world have long discovered the role of coal, and use coal to heat water, calcine, etc.!
It's just that there are not many open-pit coals in this world, and the amount of mining is relatively small.
When William came here, he had never seen the villagers burn coals for heating, they always used dry firewood.
When he said this, he was just talking casually. It’s good to have it, but it’s okay to not have it. Relying on the dark forest, there is a lot of firewood!
Whoever finds the Black Stone, a pis gold coin!
These words were shocking, and the villagers were trembling, which was caused by excitement.
If it wasn't for William still on stage, the place would have been turned upside down long ago.
Old John was already desperate for William's spending money.
He looked at William numbly.
William seemed to notice his gaze, turned his head, looked at him, and suddenly smiled at him strangely, and Old John's scalp went numb!
Then Old John heard William say, Of course, all these jobs will only be released to those villagers who bought those tools. I feel sorry for the villagers who didn't buy those tools! Even if you do, I will I won't admit it!
This means that the villagers have to pay for those handicrafts first!
William's words were like pouring a basin of water into the raging flames of the villagers, just like when you were looking for a job in your previous life, others asked you to pay a deposit first.
Anyone will have doubts in their hearts!
But in the next second, the eyes of the villagers became hot again.
As long as there is enough profit, no one dares to take risks.
What's more, William's reputation these days has been pretty good.
Compared with other lords, it is already much better!
If you want, sign up with Old John. After leaving these words, William walked back into the earthen house.
Time is running out, he must race against time to improve his strength, today's knight training method has not been practiced yet!
Poor old John was taken aback by William's shake of his hand, and then he was surrounded by the green eyes of the villagers.
Master John, I want a broom, a dustpan, and a basket.
Stupid Kuza, that's called a dustpan! Master John, give me two brooms, a dustpan, and two baskets! Master John, do you think I can apply for the jobs of Lord Baron?
Damn Hahn, get out! I came first...
Get out of the way, stupid Kuza! I have a lot to buy, I'll go first!
Master John, I will buy it too, three brooms, two dustpans, and three baskets. Master John, I am very strong, and I want to dig a hole for the baron!
Another new person chimed in!
Stand back, I came first!
Me first! Master John, I have ten pools ready!
It's also because William is not here. If he hears that someone is going to dig a hole for himself, he won't kill him with a sword.
At this time, Old John, who was surrounded by the villagers, was already in a state of complete bewilderment!
The crowd is raging!
For William, that is popular support!
